According to the National Institute of Statistics, 162,554 marriages were celebrated in Spain in 2014. In the same year there were 105,893 annulment, separation and divorce judgments, which was a ratio of 2.3 per 1,000 inhabitants. This is 5.4 % higher than what was recorded in 2013.
The figures are worrying because divorce not only has a negative impact on the couple - according to studies, divorced people suffer more health-related problems - but also on their children and society in general.
